Drahcir495 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 What is the deal with these :fs1: 'n things. I can't get it to work. I used a piece of wire and steel sleeve for a temp fix -> It works but just looks Jerry Rigged. Any one else come up with an ideal to get them to work properly? Thanks, Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtdesigns Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I had the tilt problem in my seats. My problems were not the cables but a little sheet metal cable holder (lost of words on exactly what it is) Think a bicycle brake cable the one end has a little round metal end that inserts into the hand lever, then the cable sheath goes into (most the time) a split adjuster that you use to tighten the cable pull. Well if you take the back off your seat you'll see, and you just have to straighten that "cable housing stop" and then it should work. I guess another thing to help would be to grind a little off the hook on the bottom. Does any of this make sense?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I had to grind a bit off the catch (hook) on my 88 to get it to function properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I adjusted (bent) the metal bracket stop when I was in there the last time. I believe it just bent back to the original non-working position. I will try yours and Pete' suggestion and take a little off the hook :cheers: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
